– NORTH LONDON ENGAGEMENT AND WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER –
Planning a wedding can be quite overwhelming as there is so much to organise but once you have done all the hard work you want to remember your special day with a big smile, a few (happy) tears and plenty of laughter.
I am a real people’s person and love chatting to you while photographing. It’s important for me to get real connections and genuine emotions from you. I’ve even sobbed quietly through a few ceremonies (thankfully all behind the lens) but don’t worry no tear marks have been found on my photos!
One of the best voicenotes I received from a bride was that she didn’t even remember me taking half of the photos and watching the highlight slide show was the best 10 minutes ever. Her final comment was that it could have been longer!
As one of the few female Asian photographer based in North London I’m so lucky to be surrounded by a variety of different ethnicity and love learning about new culture and customs. Small to intimate weddings are my speciality but don’t mind travelling and even being a destination wedding photographer!
If you have several events or specific requirements then I’m happy to discuss and give you a personalised service.
“From the moment I saw Mona’s work 7 years ago I knew I had to have her as the photographer for my sons occasion whenever that was to be!!
From the pictures at home to the ceremony at the venue and the reception afterwards she captured everything and more I’m seeing things that I missed on the day!!
Mona made everyone feel at ease which actually shows through the photographs. Whilst taking the photographs nobody felt awkward everyone commented on how friendly she was. She was not intrusive at all just blended in in the background at times I didn’t realise she was there!
I particularly love the photographs of the nikah ceremony. She had me thinking how and when did she do all these mashallah absolutely perfect
Was such an honour to have you capture our son big day and make beautiful memories. You truly are one in a million
I can’t thank you enough!”
What you want on your wedding day:
- to be captured naturally
- to be enjoyed by everyone including you!
- to be remembered beautifully
- photos to be full of joy and happienss

Pre-wedding/engagement sessions are a wonderful way to celebrate your love. They are also the perfect opportunity for me to get to know you both and ease you in front of the camera .
The outdoor space we choose to photograph and video is a place that is special to you both, perhaps where you had your first date, picnic or even proposed! We take lots of fun, natural and loving photos and short video clips that represent you as a couple!
These highlight video and images can be used for wedding announcements, invitations, thank you notes, play the highlight video at your wedding reception or you could make a lovely keepsake album!
Mona has an amazing skill for photography – she was not only able to capture some amazing scenes at our wedding events, but she is also a lovely person and was always able to make everyone she photographed feel relaxed and comfortable. Would definitely recommend Mona for any photography, especially weddings!
– HOW IT WORKS –
BEFORE THE WEDDING DATE
Once booked I will arrange a telephone consultation meeting 2-3 months with both bride and groom before the wedding date (earlier if you are having a pre-wedding photoshoot)
At the telephone consultation we have a chat (how you met, what you enjoy doing together, pet names for each other). With the information I build a picture of you as a couple and start thinking about your love story.
We go over your wedding event/s and understanding your needs. I will explain to you how I work on the day and my style of photography.
After the consultation I will send you email with a summary of what we discussed, my photography itineray for the event/s and a link to a photography board with pose/styles you described.
ON THE DAY
Depending on your wedding needs, I generally arrive 30 minutes prior to scheduled start time to familiarise myself with the venue/grounds and locate different spots.
My working style is non-intrusive but I do guide the couple during their portrait session and other family members when arranging group shots in order to achieve the best results. To create the perfect album I capture a mixture of natural, candid photos and semi formal portraits. I mainly shoot in colour and but also offer a few storytelling black and white images.
I make sure that I cover all aspects of your wedding so will be closely checking the itinerary and liasing with the wedding events manager or the family member in charge!
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
Congratulations you are married now!! You now get to sit back, relax and go off on your honeymoon, while I will be working hard going through your images and selecting the best ones and perfect them individually.
I know you will be anxious see how your photos turned out so I normally share a sneak peek of few images on my instagram/face book page.
Approximately 3 weeks after your wedding date, you will receive an email from me with a link to your password protected gallery. You can view and share the gallery with friends and family for 7 days.
You then have to select your set of images for print and if you wish to order any wall products or weddingalbums. I have samples so you can arrange to come and see them.
If you select wall products/frames then I will create a mock up on how it would look on a wall.
For wedding albums, depending on the number of pages, you will select a number of images and I will create a lay out for each page for your approval.
Payment must be paid in full to confirm your order and products hand delivered within 4 weeks of approval.
WHAT PRODUCTS DO YOU OFFER?
I offer a range of wall art, bespoke frames and wedding albums that can be added before or after the wedding . Check out my product page here for more info.
